With less than 2,000 miles on my Certified 2000 Saab 95 SE wagon, and less than a week after brining it in for service, I had, what I'm assuming is, a major electronics meltdown today.

I'm driving about 5 mph, and my rear windshield wiper goes on and off. I just think nothing of it. It does it again, then my front wiper starts going on. Both front & rear wipers are squirting fluid. Mind you, I haven't done anything to prompt this. Pretty much simultaneously with all the wipers going on, there is a bell, and I notice that the TCS off; ABS Brakes and the major warning indicator (the !) go off.

I stop the car, re-start it, do it again, and just slowly drive forward. The situation resolves itself.

Again, this same thing happens. I manage to get the wipers stopped by pulling back on the wiper lever (as though I was going to clean my wipers). Both the front & rear wipers stop, but all the warning lights are on. On top of that, the SID is reading: wiper fluid level low; theft system needs to get checked (or something to that extent).

Does anyone have any idea of what this is? Or who in NYC (or NYC area) I should take it to to resolve the issues?

I purchased the car about 100 miles from NYC, and its just too much of a hassle to drive it that far, and I'm frankly a bit afraid to drive it that far given that the major engine warning light is on.

the car seems to be driving OK, but the indicator tell me otherwise. Unfortunately I can't head up there to easily get my car fixed. So I need to take it local (after owning it for less than a month, driving it for less than 2500 miles and after your team "serviced" the car 2x already).
